At the time of publication, the largest market capitalization, held by bitcoin core (BTC), is up today 2.3%. BTC is hovering just above the $4K region at $4,045 per coin and is also up 2.2% for the week. Currently, BTC has a market valuation of around $71 billion and the highest daily trade volume capturing $10.1 billion this Saturday.

The second highest valuation is held by ethereum (ETH) and each coin is swapping for $142 per unit. ETH markets are up 3.9% for today and roughly 2.7% for the last seven days. Ripple (XRP) markets sit below ETH and each XRP is trading for $0.31 a token. XRP is up a hair at 1.6% for the last 24 hours and 1.5% for the week. Still holding strong in fourth position is litecoin (LTC), which is up today 4.7% and up over 5.4% for the entire week.
